In this book, "Loom Knitting Guide & Patterns", you will learn basics to beyond, find valuable reference information, math explained, and simply find how to get the most out of your knitting skills. Learn abbreviations and their meanings, stitches explained, how to work stitches, and patterns to get you started. Skills for this book range from absolute beginner to advanced loom knitters. If you have already loomed before feel free to dive right in or visit the Loom Basics Chapter first to get a jump-start. Intermediate and advanced loom knitters will find valuable reference materials in the Knitter's Math and Charts Chapter. Includes links for video and online references; a master link is given to access a bonus PDF with 10 valuable charts and 170 reference links. Unlike other loom knitting books, this book includes a valuable chart on looms listed in their gauge. It also suggests equivalant needle ranges, yarn weights, stitches per inch ranges and even the right crochet hook to go with it all. Metric numbers are also included for the UK/AU standard for yarn. This was a true labor of love and features a chapter dedicated on Gauge! Also found are how to read patterns and charts, how to convert a needle pattern with a handy reference chart, and calculate formulas for how much yarn needed or stitches to cast-on!
